Compare Fellowship 2018–2019 under New BAICE Funding scheme

Description

Compare is a leading journal of international and comparative education, publishing six issues a year of high quality articles on diverse issues of educational policy and practice around the world. It is the official journal of the British Association of International and Comparative Education (BAICE), which works to support activities of research, teaching and collaboration in the field. In order to maintain its significant global standing, one of Compare’s missions is to develop the diversity of its authorship, and support underrepresented groups, in light of the significant inequalities of global academic publishing. For this reason, it has established in 2017 an annual Compare Fellowship, to support early career academics from the Global South in disseminating their research and scholarship to a global audience.

The fellowship will run from 1 September 2018 – 31 August 2019 and provide full financial support (including travel, accommodation and subsistence) for the following activities:

Attending the BAICE conference in York, UK, from 12-14 September 2018 (candidates are strongly encouraged to submit a presentation)

Attending the Compare writers’ workshop at the conference (a full-day course for early career researchers)

2-4 week stay at an institution in the UK following the conference (to carry out library research, attend academic events, and develop publication ideas with the guidance of a mentor)
